Tom interesting action capture. I like the contrasts of the rocks and the background wave. I think you would have been a little happier with a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement. Good work though. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent shot, very impressive. I'm not sure if a faster shutterspeed would have ameliorated he picture. I like it as it is..

Hi Tom,

It's precisely the surreal feel of that wave against the shadowed stones that I love about this .. I wish the birds were sharper and I am not sure about some of the blotchy dark spots on the stone .. but still a nice image .. It really strikes me how well this moment is put together .. the depth of the layers .. the way the birds at the edge and have the rest of the frame to fly through .. the amount of stone in the frame .. all very nice.

A few precious(beautiful) surges those of your gallery. The furious sea is so beautiful as fearsome, but I like to contemplate it always and you have helped me to see what here in the Mediterranean strange happens, this enormous courage of the waves. A few made well photos for that I am grateful you have shared.

A cordial greeting.

Josep
